Head-to-head
Leicester have won just one of the last nine league meetings (D1, L7). That was in the corresponding fixture last season, which proved to be Jose Mourinho's last in charge of Chelsea - he was sacked three days later.
Chelsea have won three of their last four Premier League visits to Leicester, with two of those wins coming under current Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri.
Leicester City
Eighteen of Leicester's 21 Premier League points this season have come at home.
Leicester are aiming to keep three consecutive clean sheets for the first time in this season's Premier League.
The Foxes had 40 points at this stage last season, almost twice as many as they do in this campaign (21).
They have conceded 31 league goals, only five fewer than in the whole of last season.
Chelsea
Chelsea's run of 13 consecutive league wins came to a halt with defeat at Tottenham last week.
Antonio Conte's side have kept 11 Premier League clean sheets this season, three more than any other club.
Diego Costa has been involved in 11 goals in his last 11 Premier League appearances away from home (nine goals, two assists).
Chelsea have 49 points after 20 matches, only one fewer than their final total from last season.
Only once before have Chelsea lost their opening two Premier League matches of a calendar year - in 1993, when they were beaten 4-2 at home by Manchester City and 3-0 at Nottingham Forest.
